I love this cute fat bird, with its Boterismo proportions and its little beady eyes. It may look serious and uncomfortable, tense even, but it still has an irresistable air of whimsy that puts a smile on my face whenever I walk past it.

Fernando Botero Angulo (born 19 April 1932) is a figurative artist and sculptor from Medellín, Colombia. His signature style, also known as “Boterismo”, depicts people and figures in large, exaggerated volume, which can represent political criticism or humor, depending on the piece. He is considered the most recognized and quoted living artist from Latin America, and his art can be found in highly visible places around the world, such as Park Avenue in New York City and the Champs Elysées in Paris.
